American Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament Tickets on Sale Friday


All-session ticket packages for the 2017 American Athletic Conference Women’s Basketball Championship will go on sale tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 11, at 10 a.m. ET. The championship will be held March 3-6, 2017, at the Mohegan Sun Arena for the fourth straight season.  The UConn Huskies, the only champions the fledgling American has known, will be trying to capture their fourth straight AAC title. The Huskies, of course, are the most dominant team in NCAA women’s basketball history, having captured 11 national crowns.

Indeed, the American was well represented throughout last year’s postseason play, with the University of South Florida also included in the NCAA tournament field, with Memphis, Temple and Tulane all participating in the WNIT.

The 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena, home of the WNBA Connecticut Sun, is a multifaceted facility in Uncasville, CT. It has hosted championship boxing, college and professional men’s and women’s basketball, Davis Cup tennis, professional bull-riding and professional bowling. The WNBA All-Star Game has been played at Mohegan Sun Arena four times, and the WNBA Draft has been held at the facility three times. 

All-session tickets, good for all 10 games in the tournament, cost $99—which represents almost a 33 percent discount off face value of individual session ducats. Tickets will be available at the Mohegan Sun Arena box office daily between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., as well as through all 11 American Athletic Conference member schools. In addition, tickets may also be purchased online, at www.MoheganSun.com or www.Ticketmaster.com, or by telephone at 1-800-745-3000. Information on discounts for groups of 10 or more people is available through the Connecticut Sun Group Sales Department at (860) 862-4000. 

The latest information on the 2017 Women’s Basketball Championship can be found on The American’s Championship Central page at www.TheAmerican.org/WBB.
